The Whole Package
In order to compete with Tesla, Ford engineers and designers knew they had to create a vehicle that was truly the whole package. That means the 2023 Mach e has all of the electric power and cutting edge technology that is expected.
There’s no doubt, given the electric Ford’s award shelf, that it meets all of the important benchmarks just like Tesla. In fact, many Mustang Mach e reviews indicate that Ford is doing much of this better.
The interior is considered spacious, welcoming, and handsome. While Teslas are criticized for plain exteriors, the Mach e has a fun pony-car exterior that signals its relationship to the original Mustang sports cars.

True Quality
Ford has been making vehicles for over 100 years. Its current reputation is one of outstanding quality. This is seen time and again with its other SUVs, and the Mach e is following in that tradition. CNBC recognized that when it wrote that the Ford electric SUV has better reliability than Tesla.
Quality issues have plagued Tesla, and there’s plenty of evidence to show that hasn’t improved much. JD Power has found numerous issues through its annual automotive studies. Car and Driver talked about quality issues when it tested Teslas against the Mach e.

More for the Money
While Teslas have come down in price, 2023 Ford Mustang Mach e models really hold their own in terms of quality. Car and Driver rated the Mach e ahead of three Teslas. This include the pricy Performance models of the Model Y and Model 3 and the even pricier Model S Long Range.
How can this Ford electric vehicle compete so well against these more expensive rivals? According to that Car and Driver article, Ford quality won the day. This included both the vehicle’s build quality and its use of premium materials to create a cohesive whole.
Then there are some Ford options not found on the Tesla Model Y. For Phoenix AZ drivers, the most important example is ventilated seats.

Better Infotainment
Infotainment systems have become very important to the driving experience. Tesla has chosen a single screen for the Tesla Model Y. This screen is bigger, but it isn’t better than the Ford touchscreen. US News has called the Tesla system ‘distracting’. Most critics agree that it has a sharp learning curve that must be overcome to drive the car safely.
Ford puts two large screens in the cockpit. One is behind the steering wheel, and the other is in the traditional touchscreen position. Overall the system is easier to use, according to CNBC. For one thing, only Ford has standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Conclusion
The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach e is paving the way toward an electric vehicle future. It hits all the benchmarks and exceeds some that Tesla doesn’t. When all is said and done, the Mach e is the electric SUV to beat!
